I didn't understand any of it either but preferred it when it was Bloody Mary's in the car park ... Maybe without the cheese !! - Just say'n !!

Sharon that site is awesome .... Never knew you could cook batters in the acti fryer without the paddle ! Might have to start stalking ya via pm to get more details !!! :-) Last night - just a stir fry Tonight is chicken surprise ... As in sent Gil to the gourmet butcher for cheat chicken filo and he forgot to check what was in what he bought !! Should be interesting :-)

Yay you - congrats on a fabulous 5 :-)

Awesome work Jen- onwards and upwards from here :-)

Had a fall last night ( please don't tell Bakon but I literally tripped over a cat !! ) so off the gym for a bit ... Already missing it - but I did walk home from work !

Boo hiss - shame on you all for wishing winter to arrive here .... Have you no respect for a southern hemisphere girl's feelings !!

I use an actifryer - which is an appliance that you only need one spoon of oil and you get pretty much perfect chips and other fried food without deep frying .... Love it :-) Last night I used the marinade from Sharon's Vietnamese chicken - stir fired the chicken and served it with salads - awesome recipe Sharon :-)

Great post Joe - sending prayers for you father in law

Awesome job - congratulations

Hi Rob and welcome. Congrats on a great decision, I wish I had been smart enough to quit before I turned 30 !! So sorry you are having a crap day ... Unfortunately that can happen in the early days - but it does get better ... I promise . In the interim read up and watch the videos here - they are full of great advice. Make sure you are drinking juice, eating fruit - your sugar levels will be all over the shop, and plan distractions - I used the gym, this board. You can do this - stay close to the board - you will find great support here !

Hi Lennon - welcome to the board. You have already received great advice so,I will just add - read up and stay close - you will find great support here

Last night was roasted lamb racks with green veggies and air fried potato and cauliflower

Awesome job - onwards and upwards from here

Awesome job Laura - one tough week done and dusted :-)

Holy Batshark ... Congratulations on an awesome year! Make sure you celebrate big time ! :-)

Welcome Tony - you can do this. Read up- there is great information here, make sure you sip water and juice ( quitting does impact sugar levels ), and plan distractions for when craves hit - I used the gym, playing games, reading. Most importantly stay close to the b.oard - you will find great support here :-)

Last night - my version of fish, chips and mushy peas .... or in my case barramundi, air fried chips and chickpea and lentil salad. Had other salads on the side but forgot to take a pic !

Yumm Sharon that looks fantastic - I am so cooking that !! Colleen and DD - been trying to think of a fish sauce equivalent ( it is available in every supermarket here ) and it is hard ... It is really salty maybe a combination of fish / chicken stock and soy sauce ?? Do you have a Chinese grocer near - cos they will probably stock it ??

Hey JC - so happy you made it through and will add you are now so much stronger. Keep taking it one step at a time - it will get better and in the interim I am sure you know we are all here to support you xx

Hey Wendy - late here but wanted to say sorry you are having problems sleeping and check how you are doing ??

You guys are doing so well - like the others I drank heaps of water and herbal teas and I also established licorice as an additional food group - that and exercise and posting and reading here were my saviours ! Oh and knowing I had buddies all over the world who understood what I was going through and who I didn't want to let down was huge too :-) You guys are right where you need to be - so proud xx
